Ok, that makes sense. The Rogue is probably the closest decent option from Lansing. It's just that compared to some of the better rivers further north, it doesn't have as good of a population of fish, and it sees a lot of pressure due to being so close to Grand Rapids.

I think the closest blue ribbon trout river to you would be the White River, near White Cloud. Google maps says that's just under 2 hours from Lansing. Other options would be the PM, Upper Manistee, or South Branch of the Au Sable. All of those are between 2-2.5 hours from Lansing.

In any of these rivers, with their larger fish populations and better insect hatches, success isn't guaranteed. This time of year in particular can be tough. The fish have seen a whole season's worth of flies going past, and a lot of the insects that would normally get them feeding have already hatched out.

Don't get discouraged, though. I fly fished for 2 whole seasons before I finally figured out how to catch trout. Tom Rosenbauer's book Prospecting for Trout was a HUGE help for me.

Good luck out there!
